Character Creation CC

A place for discussion, creation and back story for your characters.

I was thinking of reusing a third level halfling monk that I had created for another game (Kicsi Leszúr) assuming that I can get her to fit into Talos properly that is.

Shouldn't be a problem, I did change alignment to Lawful Neutral. I didn't really specify, all characters for this, should be neutral something.

What method of character generation? Roll, point buy or array?

Think I'm gonna make a druid. One of a few classes I have not played

Rolling or array.

I'm leaning toward an Eldritch Knight, probably a Stout Halfling, maybe with the Entertainer Gladiator background.

I'll roll, see what works:

So that's: {11, 16, 13, 13, 15, 16} pretty awesome actually

Rolling

Edit: Re-Rolling ones

So... 12, 16, 11, 12, 17, 11

Not so great, but I can work with it :)
Yours is better than mine in every way lol

Edit: Fixed!

You can reroll ones!

Sweet! I only had one, but here goes

So that's: {11, 16, 13, 14, 15, 16}!

Hrm! My first D&D 5E character. Will our party need a more dedicated healer (e.g. the arcane healer) or are a druid's healing skills sufficient? If the latter, then I'm nosing around Ranger, an arcane magic-user of some sort, or maybe something roguish. Attributes are below:

Hrm. Re-roll aces didn't do what I thought it did. So trying again (to me an 'ace' is a one.. and re-roll means roll over, so obviously I got something wrong there!).

I got 6 1s, so re-rolling those.

Edit: and re-rolling 1d6 for the [6,2] above in case you'd prefer I used the first set of rolls.

Edit2: Ok. That yields the following:

"re-roll aces" roll:

(6,5,2,2) -> 13
(4,5,2,5) -> 14
(5,4,3,5) -> 14
(2,5,5,4) -> 14
(3,4,2,4) -> 11
(4,5,1,5) -> 14 (do you re-roll a 1 when you re-roll a 1?)

Following roll

(3,6,6,6) -> 18
(3,6,6,2) -> 15
(3,6,4,3) -> 13
(4,5,5,5) -> 15
(3,4,4,1) -> 11 (do you re-roll a 1 when you re-roll a 1?)
(4,5,2,6) -> 15

I think I should take the first set, since it represents the truer case of "what I rolled" and doesn't have an 18 in it. But will defer to the GM on which is the most pure of the two and take that one. Sorry for the mess up with the re-roll aces.

Are there any race restrictions or class restrictions from the PHB other than no clerics and no paladins?

Nope

So where are we so far? An eldritch knight, monk, and where did you land falryx?
I'll go arcane something if you'd rather do Ranger or rogue.

I hadn't quite picked yet. We've got a druid, an eldritch knight and a monk. So it feels like we may have healing (druid?) and some melee damage picked up. Feels like a little ranged damage/crowd control could be a good idea. Maybe another healer? I'm totally flexible. This will literally be my first go at 5E, so I'm sure I'll learn and have fun with anything. If you want to go arcane, do it -- and I'll figure out my path. :)
